Been in my parents' cellar since the end of december. We came straight from another state and didn't have the means to set up an apartment upon arrival. Thought we'd be leaving at the beginning of february. Every single time we've tried to move out (we were a day away from signing a lease), problems with work have come up. Less hours, different pay structure, bad boss, etc, etc.
Living with them is actually completely fine (for both of us).. 6 days a week. I hate Sundays. I am "closeted" about my disbelief in my parents' mormon religion. Mormon church is 3 hours a week. THREE HOURS. I've succeeded in not going for 2 months now due to the ol' weekend cold, overslept, etc. To people who haven't grown up Mormon, it's hard to explain how difficult it is to try and be honest about any negative feelings towards the church with your family.
I'm embarrassed of my unemployment, that I'm living with my parents, that I'm afraid to tell them how I feel, that my wife is our sole breadwinner and we can't afford to move out because of the fact I can't get a job.
On the plus side, I have a small handful of friends in varying stages of being where I am now, and hung out with them this weekend. (smiling)
